Numerology profile
Above is your free overview. The full report explains it in depth: Life path, expression, soul urge, personality, birthday and maturity numbers, karmic debts, and the four pinnacles and challenges.
Your core numbers
The life path number comes from your date of birth and describes the main direction of your life. The expression number comes from all the letters of your birth name and shows your talents. The soul urge number uses only the vowels and points to what you long for inside.
How the numbers are calculated
Skyspoken uses Pythagorean numerology. Each letter gets a value from 1 to 9 (A, J and S are 1; B, K and T are 2, and so on), and the sums are reduced to a single digit. The master numbers 11, 22 and 33 are kept. Letters with accents, such as ä, ö, ü or é, count as their base letter.
Your personal year
Your personal year follows a nine-year cycle and changes on 1 January. It describes the theme of the year: starting, patience, creativity, building, change, family, reflection, results or completion.
Which name to use
Use your full name as it appears on your birth certificate. A married name or a nickname can be compared in the name numerology report.
Questions
Do I need my birth time?
No. Numerology uses only your name and date of birth.
My name is written in another alphabet. What should I enter?
Enter it in Latin letters, as in your passport.
What is a master number?
11, 22 and 33 are not reduced further. They carry the qualities of their base numbers (2, 4 and 6) with more intensity.
